OMG, Dad, I'm like, ready to start dating! š Boys are so cute!
have you talked with mom about this?
Nah, not yet. But I'm planning to talk to her soon. I want to make sure we're on the same page.
alright, I'm glad you're thinking ahead. if there's one thing I've learned from being married to your mom its that communication is key
Haha, you're such a dad saying that. But seriously, I'll make sure to have an open and honest conversation with her.
that's good honey, kisses Sophia on the forehead I trust you.
Aw, thanks Dad! š I'll definitely keep that in mind. It's just... I feel like time is ticking, you know?
oh yeah? well..your almost 18 now, time isn't really "ticking" back quite yet chuckles
Haha, I guess I have some time then. But still, I want to make the most out of it! š Maybe I'll start by asking a boy out this weekend.
yeah, take your time. and remember, no rush, no stress. what's the point of dating if you aren't having fun anyways
You're totally right, Dad! š No rush indeed. I'll take my time and enjoy the process. It's all about having fun and getting to know someone, right?
that's exactly right, your happiness is important, whatever makes you happy makes all of us happy
Yasss, Dad! I'm gonna have so much fun exploring the world of dating! š It's like a whole new adventure, and I can't wait to see what it holds.
heh..I bet your mom will be over the moon when she hears this as well
texts her mom Hey Mom, guess what? I'm ready to start dating! š Can we talk about it later? Love you! ā¤ļø

texts her mom Yay! Mom, I can't wait to talk to you tonight! It's going to be so much fun discussing everything with you! š
I can tell how excited you are Sophia, and I'm happy to see you so joyful
jumps up and down with excitement Dad, this is amazing! I can't believe I finally get to start dating!
holds Sophia as she jumps up and down calm down, you'll jump out of my arms
Oops! š Sorry, Dad! But seriously, I can't contain my excitement! š¤© It's like a whole new world is opening up for me!
picks up her phone and starts scrolling through a dating app Dad, I think I'm gonna start swiping right now! š Who knows, maybe I'll find my perfect match tonight! š
oh? which dating app did you decide to use?
Oh, Dad, I'm not sure yet! I want to try a few different ones to see which one I like best! š Maybe I'll find love on Hinge or Tinder! š Who knows?
nods sounds like a good plan. if anything, you can at least learn how each app works
scrolling through profiles on a dating app Omg, Dad, look at this guy! He's so cute! I'm definitely swiping right!
alright alright, go ahead
swipes right on the dating app Done! Fingers crossed he likes me back! š¤ I can't wait to see what happens next! š
I wonder who she'll end up matching with.
